Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an acceleration measuring device and a method for producing such an acceleration measuring device according to the preambles of the independent claims.
Background
Patent document CH399021A describes an acceleration measuring instrument having a piezoelectric system, a vibrating mass, a pre-tensioned sleeve and a base plate. The piezoelectric system is mechanically preloaded between the seismic mass and the substrate by means of a preload sleeve. During acceleration, the vibrating mass exerts a force on the piezoelectric system proportional to its acceleration. By such mechanical pretension, not only positive acceleration but also negative acceleration can be detected. The force in turn generates piezoelectric charges in the piezoelectric system, which can be derived electrically as an acceleration signal. The acceleration signal is proportional to the magnitude of the force. The electrically derived acceleration signal is electrically amplified and analyzed in an analysis unit.
The acceleration measuring device for measuring shock and vibration is marketed by the applicant under model number 8002K. The accelerometer is arranged in a mechanically stable housing made of stainless steel. According to the data table 8002_00_205d _07.05, it weighs 20 grams and can be attached to any measurement object by a mounting bolt. The measurement range is +/-1000 g, the resonance frequency is 40kHz, and the working temperature is-70 ℃ to +120 ℃.
Disclosure of Invention
The primary object of the invention is to improve such a known acceleration measuring device. Another object of the invention is to provide a cost-effective method for producing such an acceleration measuring device.
The primary object of the invention is achieved by the features of the independent claims.
The invention relates to an acceleration measuring instrument, which is provided with a piezoelectric system, a vibrating mass and a pre-tightening component; during acceleration, the seismic mass exerts a force on the piezoelectric system which is proportional to its acceleration, the force generating a piezoelectric charge in the piezoelectric system, and the piezoelectric charge can be electrically derived as an acceleration signal, wherein the piezoelectric system has two system elements; wherein the vibrating mass has two mass elements; and wherein the pretensioning assembly mechanically pretensions the system element against the mass element.
The advantage of the vibrating mass consisting of two mass elements is that: the piezoelectric system can be mechanically pre-tensioned only between the mass elements and no other components such as a substrate are required to achieve the mechanical pre-tensioning. The pretensioning assembly causes a piezoelectric system having two system elements to be mechanically pretensioned against the mass element. The piezoelectric receiver group thus obtained is electrically and mechanically testable and storable before being installed in the housing of the accelerometer. The acceleration measuring device is therefore produced at a very low cost.

With respect to the vertical axis AA ', an electrical insulation 31 is arranged between the measuring elements 30, 30' and electrically insulates these measuring elements 30, 30' from each other. The measuring elements 30, 30' and the electrical insulation 31 are in direct mechanical contact. The insulation resistance of the electrical insulator 31 is greater than or equal to 1010Omega. The measuring elements 30, 30' can be easily electrically and mechanically connected due to their spatial expansion. The measuring elements 30, 30 'have recesses 32, 32' at their longitudinal axial ends. The cross-section of the recess 32, 32 'with respect to the longitudinal axis BB' is rectangular. Here, other cross-sectional shapes, such as circular, etc., may also be provided by those skilled in the art in light of the teachings of the present invention.
The accelerometer 1 has a piezoelectric system 2. The piezo system 2 has a plurality of, preferably two, system elements 20, 20'. The system elements 20, 20' are identically constructed. The structure of the system elements 20, 20' is shown in a schematic view according to fig. 5. Each system element 20, 20 'has a plurality of electrically insulating elements 21, 21', a plurality of electrodes 22, 22 'and a plurality of piezoelectric elements 23, 23', 23 ". Each system component 20, 20 'preferably has two electrically insulating elements 21, 21'. The electrically insulating elements 21, 21 'are rectangular in cross-section with respect to the longitudinal axis BB' and are formed, for example, fromCeramic, Al2O3Ceramic, sapphire, etc. electrically insulating and mechanically rigid materials. The insulation resistance of the electrically insulating elements 21, 21' is greater than or equal to 1010Omega. The electrodes 22, 22 'are also rectangular in cross-section with respect to the longitudinal axis BB' and are made of an electrically conductive material, for example a pure metal, a nickel alloy, a cobalt alloy, an iron alloy, etc. Fig. 6 shows a perspective view of the electrodes 22, 22'. Each system element 20, 20 'preferably has two electrodes 22, 22'. Each electrode 22, 22' is integral and has a plurality, preferably three, of electrode faces which are mechanically connected to one another by a plurality, preferably two, of joints. The electrodes 22, 22 'accumulate the piezoelectric charge of a plurality, preferably three, piezoelectric elements 23, 23', 23 ″ via the electrode surfaces. The piezoelectric elements 23, 23', 23 ″ are rectangular in cross section with respect to the longitudinal axis BB' and are made of, for example, quartz (SiO)2Single crystal), calcium gallium germanate (Ca)3Ga2Ge4O14Or CGG), lanthanum gallium silicate (L a)3Ga5SiO14Or L GS), tourmaline, gallium phosphate, piezoelectric ceramics, etc. the piezoelectric element 23, 23', 23 "is crystallographically oriented cut so that it has a high sensitivity to forces to be received, preferably the piezoelectric material has a high sensitivity to longitudinal or lateral shear force effects here the piezoelectric element 23, 23', 23" is oriented to produce negative and positive piezoelectric charges on the surface perpendicular or parallel to the shear force axis.
In the schematic view of the piezoelectric system 2 as shown in fig. 5, three piezoelectric elements 23, 23', 23 "are provided between two electrically insulating elements 21, 21'. The first electrically insulating element 21 faces the centre point O and the second electrically insulating element 21' faces away from the centre point O. These five elements are shown stacked in fig. 1 to 4 and disposed in the recesses 32, 32'. The recesses 32, 32 'are dimensioned such that they receive the system elements 20, 20' substantially completely. The adjective "substantially" encompasses a tolerance of ± 10%. The piezo system 2 and the seismic mass 3 are therefore space-saving, i.e. the piezo system 2 is arranged inside the spherical surface of the seismic mass 3 with maximum use of space.
The two electrodes 22, 22 'are arranged with their three electrode surfaces on the surface of the piezoelectric element 23, 23', 23 ″. The electrodes 22, 22' are preferably identical components. The positive electrode 22 receives positive piezoelectric charges from the surface of the piezoelectric element 23, 23', 23 ", and the negative electrode 22' receives negative piezoelectric charges from the surface of the piezoelectric element 23, 23', 23". One end 24, 24' of each electrode 22, 22' is electrically and mechanically coupled to the mass element 30, 30 '. The positive electrode 22 is electrically and mechanically connected by its end 24 to a first mass element 30 located on top with respect to the central point O and the vertical axis AA'. The negative electrode 22 'is electrically and mechanically connected by its end 24' to a second mass element 30 'located lower with respect to the center point O and the vertical axis AA'. Such electrical and mechanical connection is achieved by a force fit, such as a press, stiction, etc., on the surface of the mass element 30, 30'. The electrodes 22, 22 'thus measure the negative and positive electrical charges as acceleration signals and electrically lead them out to the mass elements 30, 30'.
The acceleration measuring device 1 has a pretensioning assembly 4, which comprises two cap parts 40, 40' and a sleeve 41. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the cap 40, 40' is bowl-shaped in cross-section about the longitudinal axis BB ' while the sleeve 41 is hollow-cylindrical in cross-section about the longitudinal axis BB '. The pretensioning assembly 4 is made of a mechanically resistant material, such as a pure metal, a nickel alloy, a cobalt alloy, an iron alloy, etc. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other cross-sectional shapes (e.g., multi-deformation, etc.) of the cap and sleeve may be provided by one skilled in the art in light of the teachings of the present invention. The cap 40, 40' is preferably the same component. The sleeve 41 has a fastening element 42. A mechanical connection to a measuring object, not shown, is realized by means of the fastening element 42. This mechanical connection is a mechanical force fit connection like a screw connection or the like.
The pretensioning element 4 substantially completely surrounds the seismic mass 3 and the piezoelectric system 2. Each cap 40, 40' partially surrounds the outer side of the seismic mass 3. With regard to the center point O and the longitudinal axis BB ', on the left side a first cap 40 partially surrounds a first outer side of the seismic mass 3, and on the right side a second cap 40' partially surrounds a second outer side of the seismic mass 3. With respect to the center point O and the longitudinal axis BB', the sleeve 41 surrounds a middle region of the seismic mass 3. The cap 40, 40' and the sleeve 41 partially overlap. With respect to the centre point O and the longitudinal axis BB ', on the left side, the first cap 40 overlaps the first end region of the sleeve 41, and on the right side, the second cap 40' overlaps the second end region of the sleeve 41. In the region of the system elements 20, 20', the caps 40, 40' are in direct mechanical contact with the system elements 20, 20 '. With respect to the centre point O and the longitudinal axis BB ', on the left side the first cap part 40 is in mechanical contact with the second electrically insulating element 21' of the first system element 20, and on the right side the second cap part 40' is in mechanical contact with the second electrically insulating element 21' of the second system element 20 '. Such mechanical contact is a surface contact with respect to the respective outer side of the second electrically insulating element 21' facing away from the centre point O. In order to achieve the mechanical pretensioning, a clamping force is introduced in a planar manner on the outer side of the second electrically insulating element 21'. The cross-sectional area into which the clamping force is introduced is significantly greater compared to the prior art document CH 399021A. The clamping sleeve of the document CH399021A introduces the clamping force into the seismic mass via an annular shoulder of small cross-sectional area. According to the invention, a correspondingly greater clamping force can be introduced, preferably 100% greater, preferably 500% greater, than that described for the data page 8002_00_205d _07.05 of the prior art, since a significantly greater cross-sectional area is obtained.
Fig. 3 and 4 show in a sectional view the method steps for mechanically preloading the piezoelectric system 2. In a first method step, an electrical insulation 31 is arranged between the mass elements 30, 30 'with respect to the vertical axis AA'. Then, the system element 20, 20 'is arranged in the recess 32, 32' in the mass element 30, 30 'with respect to the vertical axis AA'. In a further step, one end of each electrode 22, 22 'is electrically and mechanically connected to a mass element 30, 30'. Now, the cap 40, 40' and the sleeve 41 are arranged above the seismic mass 3. The cap 40, 40' overlaps the end region of the sleeve 41. In a further method step, the cap 40, 40' mechanically pretensions the system element 20, 20' relative to the mass element 30, 30 '. In this mechanically tensioned state, the cap 40, 40' is connected in a material-locking manner to the sleeve 41 in the end region of the sleeve 41. Such a material-fit connection is achieved by welding, diffusion welding, thermocompression bonding, soldering, or the like. According to fig. 4, the caps 40, 40 'are mechanically connected to the sleeve 41 by means of circumferential welds 43, 43', respectively. The weld seams 43, 43' are easily accessible to the joining tool and can thus be produced simply. The weld seams 43, 43 'are also arranged at the radial ends of the bowl-shaped cap 40, 40' and therefore have a relatively large radius, so that the residual stresses of the weld are small.
The piezo system 2, the seismic mass 3 and the pretensioning element 4 form a piezo-receiver group 10. The piezoelectric receiver group 10 is electrically and mechanically testable and storable before being mounted in the housing 5.
Fig. 7 shows a sectional view along a horizontal axis CC' through a part of the acceleration measuring instrument 1 of the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 2. Fig. 8 and 9 show corresponding perspective views. The piezoelectric receiver group 10 is mounted in the housing 5. For this purpose, in a first method step, the piezo-electric receiver group 10 is arranged in the housing 5 and is connected in a material-locking manner in the region of the sleeve 41 to a base of the housing 5 which is located at the bottom with respect to the center point O. Such joining by material bonding is performed by welding, diffusion welding, thermocompression bonding, brazing, or the like. In a further method step, the cover 6 is arranged on the upper edge of the housing 5 with respect to the center point O and is connected to the housing 5 in a material-locking manner. The material-fitting connection is also realized by welding, diffusion welding, thermocompression bonding, soldering, and the like.
The housing 5 has an opening 50 on an end side along the horizontal axis CC' with respect to the center point O. Through this opening, the mass elements 30, 30' can be contacted from outside the housing 5. In a further method step, the electrical contact elements 7, 7 'are electrically and mechanically connected to the mass elements 30, 30'. The electrical contact elements 7, 7' are cylindrical and made of an electrically conductive material, such as a pure metal, a nickel alloy, a cobalt alloy, an iron alloy, etc. The electrical and mechanical connections are achieved by material cooperation such as fusion welding, diffusion welding, thermocompression bonding, brazing, and the like. In the embodiment according to fig. 7 and 8, the electrical contact elements 7, 7 'are short wires which reach from the surface of the mass elements 30, 30' into the region of the opening 50. The stub wire has the advantages that: which is capable of withstanding mechanical loads very well during use and is therefore long-lived and inexpensive.
The accelerometer 1 can be electrically connected to an evaluation unit, not shown, via a signal cable 8. In the evaluation unit, the acceleration signal can be electrically amplified and evaluated. The signal cable 8 has a signal cable shield and two electrical signal conductors 80, 80'. The signal cable shield protects the electrical signal conductors 80, 80' from harmful environmental factors such as contaminants (dust, moisture, etc.). The signal cable shield may have a coaxial electromagnetic shield and protect the signal conductors from electrical and electromagnetic interference in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The electrical signal conductors 80, 80' are made of a conductive material such as pure metal, nickel alloy, cobalt alloy, iron alloy, and the like. The front end portions of the electrical signal conductors 80, 80 'with respect to the center point O are electrically and mechanically connected to the electrical contact elements 7, 7'. Any form of electrical and mechanical connection (e.g., material, form, and force) is possible. Thereby, the electrical signal conductors 80, 80 'are electrically and mechanically connected to the mass elements 30, 30'. The acceleration signal is conducted away from the mass element 30, 30' to the electrical signal conductor 80, 80' indirectly via the electrical contact element 7, 7 '. In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, one skilled in the art can also design the electrical contact elements and the electrical signal conductors as one piece and have the electrical signal conductors electrically and mechanically connected directly to the mass element. The acceleration signal is then electrically derived directly from the mass element onto the electrical signal conductor.
The acceleration measuring device 1 has a protective sleeve 9. The protective sleeve 9 is hollow cylindrical and made of a mechanically resistant material, such as pure metal, nickel alloy, cobalt alloy, iron alloy, plastic, ceramic, etc. In a further method step, the opening 50 is sealed by the protective sleeve 9 and the signal cable 8 is pulled free. For this purpose, the protective sleeve 9 is pushed through the signal cable 8 as shown in fig. 8 and 9. After the electrical and mechanical connection of the electrical signal conductors to the electrical contact elements 7, 7' has been effected, the protective sleeve 9 is pushed relative to the housing 5, which is indicated by the arrows in fig. 9. The protective sleeve has a disc portion 90 and a tube portion 91. The disc portion 90 and the tubular portion 91 are integral. The diameter of the disc 90 is sized such that the disc 90 is able to completely close the opening 50. The radially outer edge of the disk 90 is now in mechanical connection with the housing 5. The mechanical connection is realized by material matching such as fusion welding, diffusion welding, hot compression welding, brazing and the like. The mechanical connection is such that the opening 50 is hermetically sealed. The diameter of the tubular portion 91 is thereby also sized to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the signal cable shield. The tubular part 91 and the signal cable shield are now mechanically connected to each other. The mechanical connection is achieved by a material fit (e.g., adhesive, brazing, etc.) or a force fit (e.g., clamping, snapping, etc.). The mechanical connection forms an electrical connection and a strain relief of the mechanical connection of the electrical signal conductor to the electrical contact element 7, 7'.
It is sufficient that the components of the accelerometer 1 are capable of achieving an operating temperature of-70 ℃ to +700 ℃. Therefore, a nickel alloy with material numbers 2.4969 or 2.4632 is preferably used as the material for the housing 5, the cover 6, the mass elements 30, 30', the electrodes 22, 22', and the pretensioned assembly 4.
